Psalm 80

Prayer for Israels Restoration

To the leader: on Lilies, a Covenant. Of Asaph. A Psalm.1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock!You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth
2 before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh.Stir up your might, and come to save us!

3 Restore us, O God; let your face shine, that we may be saved.

4 O Lord God of hosts, how long will you be angry with your peoples prayers?
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in full measure.
6 You make us the scorn* of our neighbours; our enemies laugh among themselves.

7 Restore us, O God of hosts; let your face shine, that we may be saved.

16 They have burned it with fire, they have cut it down;* may they perish at the rebuke of your countenance.
17 But let your hand be upon the one at your right hand, the one whom you made strong for yourself.
18 Then we will never turn back from you; give us life, and we will call on your name.
